Mass Creating Blocks is a great way to save time, and ensure you have the right amount of staffing on a per hour basis.

How to mass create blocks:

  1. First, understand your deliveries per hour, and how many drivers you need to match that demand (deliveries per hour report here).
  2. Next, create your labor matrix, or a spreadsheet that informs how many drivers you need per hour.
